This edition contains J.S. Bach's lute works arranged for guitar. Most of these works were for the lute or the lute-harpsichord, a keyed instrument with gut strings that could imitate the lute with its colorful sounds. The arranger has retained the structure and character of the originals as much as possible, based mainly on consultation of the original sources, and has attempted to emulate the clarity of Bach's own manuscripts. Where works required significant alteration to be playable on guitar, the questionable parts have been reconstructed to arrive at the best solution which is the closest to the original. Fingerings have been added only where necessary. Extensive notes on the arranging process are included. Notation only.

BWV 787-801 Originally designed as a useful teaching tool for the guitar student/teacher, this collection of "fantasia" otherwise known as Sinfonia by Bach, are the continuation of his Keyboard Invention Series, whereby the master illustrates writing for 3 voices or "parts". As the collection was edited, it became clear that, as a teacher's aid, it was invaluable. The arranger is quoted, "The purpose of this book is many-fold; the introduction of classical guitar, the ability to read and interpret music and rhythm, to introduce more distant keys to the guitarist, to introduce a reasonable attempt towards ensemble work, facilitate a complete learning of the fret-board and to do all of this in a highly musical context. The music of Johann Sebastian Bach and the cantabile nature of this particular set of work remains very well suited to this ultimate aim. All of the basics of sound classical guitar technique will come to play, but most importantly, the guitarist will learn to perform with others. I believe that this ranked highest in my personal motivation for the publication of this book....My largest hope is that this book introduces the guitarist to some of the larger possibilities for their chosen instrument." The pieces are vigorous at tempo, presenting one challenge after another. Commonsensically arranged for 3 guitars, each piece is thoughtfully mapped out, leaving the entire piece intact, whereby each guitarist, playing a single line, at one time or another shares a heavy technical burden. Fully fingered and marked, all guitarists, including teachers, will find this an invaluable source of learning, technique, and the ability to play in an ensemble environment.

A substantial amount of early music for the guitar remains unknown to modern performers and audiences. In recent years, however, musicologists, scholars and performers on period instruments have provided a wealth of accessible new source materials which players can now begin to interpret in convincing and effective ways. Nevertheless, many still feel intimidated by the prospect of sorting through and learning to use these resources for the first time. For the uninitiated, just knowing where to start can be difficult. This anthology contains representative selections from the publications and manuscripts of four important Spanish Baroque guitarists: Gaspar Sanz, Antonio de Santa Cruz, Francisco Guerau, and Santiago de Murcia. In addition to being fun and entertaining music for all to enjoy, this collection is intended to help bridge the gap between scholarly editions and performance editions by providing a hands-on introduction to tablature transcription and to issues concerning historically informed performance on the modern guitar.
